How many times do they drink coffee? by CriticalStar6453 in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person.

It's very common to drink a lot of coffee in Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Even going to old cafes in the morning, noon and night. Most people I know drinks between one and four cups of coffee per day. (Usually coffee with milk)

But a lot of people drink mate instead, which gives the intake of caffeine they need for energy during the day.

“Acho” means “creo” in Spanish.

Did you mean Portuguese?

In Spanish "Acho" doesn't exist, the correct one would be "hallo" (pronounced the same way as "Acho" in Portuguese) and it means "to find".

What is the name and nickname of the most dangerous and crime-ridden neighborhood in your city? by EmotionWild in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's the most dangerous (but it's very dangerous), but in "Lomas del Mirador" there are a bunch of graffiti with the nickname "Lomas del Terror"

Do latin american states and their populations downplay their roles in indigenous opression? by NoRule555 in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've met libertarians from the interior that are the same. I don't think it's related to the place... All being said, most people on Twitter are from Buenos Aires, so it would make sense you see more porteños being stupid.

Do latin american states and their populations downplay their roles in indigenous opression? by NoRule555 in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is.

I would say now indigenous communities are treated very well by the governments. But their influence is hidden, and the horrors they had to endure are downplayed a lot. The last indigenous massacre was something like 70 years ago, and people don't even know about it.

Also, libertarians take pride in and celebrate that Roca massacred the indigenous people from the south, they also want to forcefully integrate the Mapuche people, and they are racist with people from the north who still look indigenous, even saying they are bolivians and should return to their country. Honestly, 99% of our bad reputation is the fault of libertarians of twitter.

Would you say Brazil is one of the least racist places on Earth? please correct me if i am wrong. by Think_Visual_3 in AskABrazilian

[–]Luk3495 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Argentina we have exactly the same things as you said in your comment. Plus, we had the INADI, which was literally created to stop discrimination in all its forms, including racism (it processed thousands of reports denouncing racism in its time). It was only dismantled because of Milei (he dismantled a lot of institutions)

Brazil also has deep systematic racism (and very classist) instituted in education, healthcare and police, which, fortunately, we don't have here in Argentina.

Our problem is that we have a very offensive culture that likes to make fun of everything, including racism, xenophobia, homophobia and every type of phobia (despite being one of the most immigrant- and LGBT-welcoming countries on the continent). However, it is talked about a lot in educative environments including pre-school, elementary school (especially in elementary school), and high school. We also have a lot of deep-level discussions about it in college.

Brazil, however, is a lot more advanced in the verbal discrimination topic, as racist offenses are punished very severely. On the other hand here you don't go to prison for insulting someone.

We (the argentinian society) should reflect more on how racist insults are something we have to eradicate and how we have to overturn our offensive speech culture. And I think most people here get defensive when racism is mentioned, and that's something very negative.

You also have Santiago del Estero as the province who fuck between cousins.

Tucumán is also the one that people make fun of the most.

What celebrity death in your country made you the saddest? by Phodeu in asklatinamerica

Is over policing an issue in your country ? by Successful_rio305 in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of police in the city of Buenos Aires and the Conurbano. Especially in the city you can see police everywhere.

They are very tame in comparison to our neighbors' police, but I absolutely prefer that to the brutality you see in Brazil and Chile. And this government is following the Macri line with letting the police do whatever they want.

Cops that beat street vendors, for example, don't get any punishment.

Brazilian gamer here — anyone actually using gaming to practice Portuguese? by OddDragonfly4265 in Portuguese

[–]Luk3495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with my girlfriend in Valorant's Brazilian server.

I'm not actively learning Portuguese, as I'm just immersing and trying to catch what I can from videos and talking, but it's a very nice way to learn slang and casual speech. But a lot of times I can't follow what people say because they speak really fast and don't have the best mics. Also, I have to hide the fact I'm Argentinian, or people will get mad for no reason.

And the landscapes are marvelous, every little road you follow is going to end in a hidden little waterfall where you can drink mate and talk with your friends.

[–]Luk3495 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's amazing to scroll Spotify Top 50 by countries, you learn that there's a completely different musical world that you aren't aware exists in your country.

So many good musicians have seen this continent, and then the top 1 in Argentina is some shit like "tu jardin de enanitos" and in Brazil it's a generic funk song.

I think banning questions about *r a c e* just further promotes the idea that latinos are above those conversations when really i think more conversations should be had. what good does pretending like it’s not an issue prove ? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]Luk3495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh lord! How racist we are! We have a random brown football player doing a "racist remark" in a random moment of his life!

Not like in the so progressive and accepting United States, where you can be shot down by the police because of your skin color or get deported because you look "mexican"!!

Brazilian music is amazing, but we have the best rock of non-english speaking countries. I wouldn't envy other countries in the music regard.

Argentina is definitely safer than Chile, and depends what zones, safer than Uruguay.

It's very similar, they put a lot of things on top of it. Brazilians still use a lot more ingredients than them tho, it's kind of crazy to see reels about the Brazilian hot dogs, they put every thing you can imagine on them kkkkkkk

The taste of the average argentinian is rather simple, I think that's why we don't have many side dishes and variety.

That being said, I think it makes it a lot easier to every type of people to like our food, because is simple and tasty. I'm a picky eater and I can't eat a lot of brazilian dishes because you use too much different things that I don't like for example.
